The purpose is to establish an official list of buildings and structures to which the provisions of the Prescott Historic Building Code, as adopted in Title III, Chapter 8, of the City Code may be applied.

Any buildings and structures located within the City limits of Prescott, Arizona, and not otherwise listed under Section 3-11-3 may be included on the official list upon a showing that such buildings and structures have:

(C) Visual and aesthetic value as part of the scene, neighborhood, or district.

Application for the inclusion of any building and structure shall be made to the Prescott Planning and Zoning Department. The application shall include the preparation and submittal of an Arizona State historic property inventory form which, after completion, shall be submitted to the Prescott Planning and Zoning Department with a copy to the Arizona State Historic Preservation office. The Planning Department shall review the completed form, shall consult with the State Historic Preservation office and the City Building Division, and shall forward the application and a summary report to the Prescott Preservation Commission, which shall decide whether the building and/or structure shall be added to the official list.

All of the expenses which may be incurred in filing the application shall be the responsibility of the applicant. The determination of the Prescott Preservation Commission insofar as to whether a particular building shall be added to the list shall be final except that any application which has been denied by the Commission may be resubmitted upon an assertion by the applicant that there are changed circumstances or additional evidence justifying reconsideration by the Commission.
